OK it’s the beginning of the month and time for a new free design. This one is a definite change from the Mexican bird! It’s a Chinese dragon that I did some time ago – again, it’s all embroidery (no applique). It might be good for a man’s or a boy’s shirt, or perhaps for a kimono or martial arts jacket to add to the oriental mood. It’s for the 5 x 7 hoop (130 x 180 mm) and has 22,340 stitches
A Dragon for the New Year
As you will see when you stitch it out, the three colours that make up the dragon’s body (listed as Harvest Gold, Tangerine and Red in the colour list) blend into each other along the length of the animal. For that reason I suggest that you choose shades of yellow, orange and red that are quite different from each other. That way the blending will give a more interesting effect than if the three shades are very similar
If you'd like this design (.pes format only, I'm afraid) just drop a comment to the blog and I'll send it out to you. A word of warning – last month I had a few problems with bouncing messages, so if you don't receive your design file within a couple of days, please try again from a different e-mail address
What a fun dragon! I’d love to have him; thanks! 🙂
